Despite the common misconception that Canada is consistently cold and covered in snow and ice, the climate varies considerable from region to region and season to season. True, much much of Canada is a sub-arctic or arctic climate, but the majority of the population lives in the south where the climate is very temperate. See the tables below for the average daily temperatures and precipitation in Canada's major cities. | Average Daily Temperature (°C) | | City | J | F | M | A | M | J | J | A | S | O | N | D | | Vancouver | 3 | 4.7 | 6.3 | 8.8 | 12.1 | 15.2 | 17.2 | 17.4 | 14.3 | 10 | 6 | 3.5 | | Calgary | -9.6 | -6.3 | -2.5 | 4.1 | 9.7 | 14 | 16.4 | 15.7 | 10.6 | 5.7 | -3 | -8.3 | | Edmonton | -14.2 | -10.8 | -5.4 | 3.7 | 10.3 | 14.2 | 16 | 15 | 9.9 | 4.6 | -5.7 | -12.2 | | Regina | -16.5 | -12.9 | -6 | 4.1 | 11.4 | 16.4 | 19.1 | 18.1 | 11.6 | 5.1 | -5.1 | -13 | | Winnipeg | -18.3 | -15.1 | -7 | 3.8 | 11.6 | 16.9 | 19.8 | 18.3 | 12.4 | 5.7 | -4.7 | -14.6 | | Toronto | -4.5 | -3.8 | 1.0 | 7.5 | 13.8 | 19 | 22.1 | 21.1 | 16.9 | 10.7 | 4.9 | -1.5 | | Ottawa | -10.7 | -9.2 | -2.6 | 5.9 | 13.0 | 18.1 | 20.8 | 19.4 | 14.7 | 8.3 | 1.5 | -7.2 | | Quebec | -12.4 | -11 | -4.6 | 3.3 | 10.8 | 16.3 | 19.1 | 17.6 | 12.5 | 6.5 | -0.5 | -9.1 | | Halifax | -5.8 | -6 | -1.7 | 3.6 | 9.4 | 14.7 | 18.3 | 18.1 | 13.8 | 8.5 | 3.2 | -3 | | Charlottetown | -7.2 | -7.5 | -3.0 | 2.7 | 9.2 | 14.8 | 18.8 | 18.4 | 14 | 8.6 | 3.1 | -3.6 | | St. John's | -4 | -4.6 | -2 | 1.8 | 6.4 | 11.3 | 15.8 | 15.6 | 11.8 | 7.3 | 3.3 | -1.4 | | Fredericton | -9.6 | -8.5 | -2.5 | 4 | 10.8 | 16.2 | 19.3 | 18.2 | 13 | 7.3 | 1.2 | -6.6 | | Victoria | 6.5 | 8.4 | 10.2 | 12.9 | 16.3 | 19.3 | 21.8 | 21.8 | 19.1 | 14.1 | 9.4 | 6.8 | | Whitehorse | -18.7 | -13.1 | -7.2 | 0.3 | 6.6 | 11.6 | 14 | 12.3 | 7.3 | 0.7 | -10 | -16 | | Yellowknife | -26.8 | -23.4 | -17.3 | -5.3 | 5.6 | 13.5 | 16.8 | 14.2 | 7.1 | -1.7 | -13.8 | -23.7 |
